Beschrijving

Clark County Council just unanimously passed a bold resolution demanding the light rail extend all the way to Library Square — not the waterfront — to build a true transit hub that connects seamlessly with C-Tran’s buses and Bus Rapid Transit. Councilor Glen Yung led the push, arguing the waterfront stop doesn’t serve as a central hub and could worsen downtown traffic. The move aligns with city and C-Tran goals, and comes with a major boost: $30 million in federal funds earmarked for the Evergreen Boulevard station and a bridge over I-5. This isn’t just wishful thinking — it’s a coordinated, funded push for a smarter, more connected transit future.

Wildfires Threaten BC Power Grid | Vancouver News

B.C. Hydro is warning residents about possible power flickers and outages as wildfires rage across the province, with smoke and ash interfering with transmission lines. Over 100 fires are burning, including several “wildfires of note,” forcing thousands to evacuate or shelter in place. Warm, dry conditions are hampering firefighting efforts, and high winds are fueling fire growth. Reports of flickering lights are already coming in — even a movie theater posted a notice — as the Kelly Lake Substation, critical for Metro Vancouver, sits near active flames. B.C. Hydro says its system is built to handle these challenges, but the situation is rapidly evolving and remains serious for many communities.

Vandalism Threatens Ancient Gabriola Petroglyphs | Vancouver News

Ancient petroglyphs in Sandwell Provincial Park, Gabriola Island, have been defaced with the words “I love Jesus,” sparking outrage and highlighting the vulnerability of Indigenous cultural heritage. These sacred carvings, possibly thousands of years old and created by Snuneymuxw ancestors, are now at risk—not just as stone, but as vital links to Indigenous identity and history. The vandalism, discovered by a shocked resident, has prompted an RCMP investigation and potential legal action under the Heritage Conservation Act. Authorities warn that restoration must involve First Nations consultation, underscoring the urgent need to protect these irreplaceable artifacts before they’re lost forever.

Trump Admin Moves to Hide Workplace Diversity Data | Vancouver News

The Trump administration is rolling back a 60-year-old rule requiring big U.S. companies to report workforce demographics — gender, race, and job level — threatening transparency and accountability in corporate diversity efforts. Without these reports, the public and EEOC lose critical insight into workplace equity, making it harder to track progress or spot discrimination in leadership and entry-level roles.
